Maybe a good strategy could be to check in this order:
~/.password-store
$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/.password-store
Shouldn't this be:
~/.password-store
$XDG_DATA_HOME/.password-store
As I understand XDG_CONFIG_DIR should contain configuration files. Password
store is data, not configuration - so it should go to XDG_DATA_HOME.
Ah right, you're probably correct here, thanks for pointing that out!
to pick further nits - inside $XDG_DATA_HOME we should not be using
hidden files, so make it $XDG_DATA_HOME/password-store
you can look at what others do, this should be ~/.local/share when
XDG_DATA_HOME is not set. to summarise, this should be the order used:
$PASSWORD_STORE_DIR
$HOME/.password-store
${XDG_DATA_HOME-$HOME/.local/share}/password-store
if none of these exist, the last value should be used as the default
place to initialise a password store so new installations are compliant
with the XDG.
